TIMECODE SETUP
The SX62R can either receive or generate Time Code at any of the conventional formats; the Time Code is
available on the Lemo 5pin connector on the right side of the unit. Following sub-menus are used to set the
required TimeCode parameters
Set the Time Code value
manually
Set TimeCode source and
running mode
Grab the system time of
the internal real time code
and set the TC value
Select TimeCode frame
rate: all format from
23.976 up to 30ND
Return to previous menu
Display current Time Code
value
[SET MANUAL]
set Hours : Minutes : Seconds manually, scroll the values with the Up & Down keys
and then confirm with SET
[SET FROM TIME]
Grab the system time from the internal Real Time Clock to set the TC value
[TIMECODE SOURCE] Time Code can be either internally generated or taken from an external generator
connected on the 5pin Lemo as described below
•
External Jam Sync the TC is jammed on an external source, then runs on its own clock
•
External No Jam
the TC reads the external source continuously
•
Internal
the TC is internally generated but its output on the Lemo 5 pin is disabled
•
Internal Output
the TC is internally generated and is available on the Lemo 5 pin connector
NOTE1:
when selecting [INTERNAL OUTPUT], a frame rate other than [AUTO] (states for auto
detect) must be selected in the menu [TIME CODE FORMAT]. If [AUTO] is selected, a
warning is posted on the screen and a bip tone is heard.
NOTE2:
in PLAYER mode, the TimeCode of the played file is outputted
[TIMECODE FORMAT] Select the TC frame rate; when [EXT JAM SYNC] or [EXT NO JAM] is selected, the
SX62R detects automatically the incoming frame rate; however specifying a format
allows to check the validity and the accuracy of the incoming Time Code; an
incoming TimeCode having a format different from that specified or not within the
standard tolerances will trigger an alarm.
